Engageme

We live in a time of flux where the disruption of the web seems to be coming into focus for educators keen to employ networked learning and digital technologies as part of the teaching>learning equation.

This “noise” is challenging systems and organisations and the very frameworks within which we once felt was an extension of our workplace…now fast becoming an integral compenent of it.

The Australian Council for Educational Research and education.au supported by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), are presenting a series of symposia to explore and illuminate the possibilities and the realities of the implementation of the Digital Education Revolution (DER).

To start my own research and investigation of the concept I’ve begun a Diigo group which explores what DER means for those interested in slipping tags and other notes to the soup of brilliance out there on the net.

To kick start the discussion I spoke with Janet (aka.lucychili) and recorded this as an MP3 for you to download about value, challenges facing educators, policy, safety online and a host of other things whilst sitting here in Orange NSW nursing a broken knee.
